iii, at emozres 3 E a f f. f ,YY fflifo ROBERT GUTAI Bob Football. I-2-3-4: Baxnhall, I-3-5: Track: Javelin: Shot Put, I: Inter-class Sports, I-Z-3-4. 9 A yellow streak, screeching brakes. a cloud of dust, and a mad dash for the classroom. Who is it? We are sure Wilson High School's blonde Adonis needs no further introduction here. If there be any who have not met this modest, unassum- ing, and likeable chap. we hasten to assure them that the loss has been theirs. Bob has been one of our superior athletes. He was a shifty half-back on the football field, and our catcher par- excellence in baseball. Many a time we have cheered as his twisting and squirming eluded the oopositions would-be tack- lers. Should Bob go on to college, we are confident that before many years, Grantland Rice and the All-American Board will be forced to recognize his ability. KENNETH HARDING Fuzz 9 Here comes Father Time. No. that's not Father Time, it's Ken Harding. You see, he forgot to shave today. Fuzz is a great reader of books. not school books, but dime novels. If he knew as much about Algebra as he does about The Shadow he'd know more than Rudy Ashman and Mr. Woehrle combined. Fuzz was quite a figure in inter-class basketball as he was generally the hero of the game. Ken prefers talking or sleeping in class to listening to a discussion about Shakespeare. All fooling aside. he is really a smart chap and is of the type that generally succeeds. MAYOLA HEIL Girl Reserves, I-4. HAROLD HEELER Buck Football, 2-3-4: Varsity Basketball, I-2-3-4: Captain, 45 Track, 2-3-4: Band. I-2-3. 9 You are now looking at one of the most athletic boys of our class. He captained the basketball team that won the Le- high-Northampton League. He played end on the football team for two years and he ran on the track team. He played the drum in the band for three years, and some day we hope to see him in Guy Lombardo's orchestra. Or, since he is interested in carpentry and contracting, perhaps some day we will see the sign Hefler and Son, Contracting, .IKI-tty,, 9 She hails from West Easton, but O, my! Never mention it to her. Whenever she is quiet we wonder what the trouble is, but when she starts talking we wonder how we can stop her. Her favorite saying Aren't you funny. There is one thing that Mayola never lacks and that is chewing gum. Wrig- ley will always be a millionaire as long as Mayola is able to chew. She excels in music and her one ambition is to give re- citals over the radio. In years to come perhaps we shall hear some of Mayola's sweet melodies coming through our tele-radio. wimwaaeimae... . twenty-one

She is one of the most lovable girls in the class. She is always ready to lend a helping hand and nothing seems too much for her to do. Midge's destiny is yet unknown, and she seems to keep her desire rather dark also. How mysteriousl Regardless of the air of mystery Midge is as bright and cheerful as Old Sol. Her independent nature will carry her far in this old world where women need the courage to assert their rights. FRANCES GENTHER Fanny 0 You now have the pleasure of viewing the prettiest girl in the senior class. lt is a well-deserved title, and Frances is as sweet as she is pretty. She has a fascinating smile and a sym- pathetic nature, Her main interest in life is. well, need we mention his name? Fanny's romance is a school legend. We hope she will always be as happy as she is today. Frances is one of Beechnut's best cuszomers. Miss Moyer has been seriously thinking about making them go out of business because the daily parade to the waste-basket is always led by Fanny Fanny's cute little dimples and laughing eyes will gain her many friends and much success in the years to come. J. ELLSWORTH GERSPACH Ginsi Ili-Y if -Secrelaru, 4: Orchexlrn, ?-4: Brmd, I-2-3-4: Erlw Make-up. 2-f-4? Year Book Staff. 9 When you come into the school at one o'clock on Tuesdays and Thursdays, you will hear the Band playing. Now and then you will hear the high notes of a harmonious clarinet solo come to you from the section where Ellsworth Gerspach is sitting. Ginsi has also been a member of the orchestra and during the senior play and operetta periods he was property manager of these productions. Besides this he was the secretary of the Hi-Y Club during the past year. We understand that Ellsie wants to go to college and study aviation, Look out for the llagpoles and smokestacks! DONALD GRUBE Marry Don Football, 2-3-4: Baseball, 2-5-4: lnler-c'ass Sports,l-2-3: filer Club, 3-4: Orchestra, Violin, l-2-3. 9 Donald, who is known in our school as the second Martie Brill. really is a credit to the name of Brill, because of his clean sportsman-like manner in his work and Dlay, He hails from the little settlement of West Easton where his achievements are practically unknown among the natives, It was predicted by many that Donald would take up the fine art of painting, or interior decorating. but after watching his skillful plays on the diamond and grid, we feel quite sure that his folks and friends from West Easton will feel the same as we do and will rank him right up in Brill's class.

Dot has been a good worker on the Les Memoires business staff, in the Girl Reserves, and has been .chief make-up expert on Ye olde Echo, which proves she can do anything she starts out to do, and do it well. Why take school too seriously? says she. You only live once. When you think it over, it does sound like a good policy. Dot is always an extremely good sport, always ready, always game. That's why we all like her. CLARA HIGBEE SUQUfi' Inter-class Basketball, I-2: Glen Club, 2-4: Girl Rc- serucs, 2-4. 9 Clara has had a rather interrupted school life. She has been absent quite a bit and everyone certainly has missed her during these absences. She seems quie', unless you know her, When she is with a group of her friends she is the wittiest one of them. Clara plays the piano, sings, and dances, She is a good looking girl, and her beautiful hair and blue eyes are admired by many. Clara wants to be a traveler. but we won't go into that. It is sufficient to say that everyone likes her and realizes what a charming girl she is. Au revoir, Clara, and best of luck. Send us a picture from Berlin.

For proof apply to any of 9 There comes a knock at the door Who do you suppose it is? Wrongl It isn't the Fuller Brush Man. or the plumber. It's Hogan trying to sell some eggs. John is all wrapped up in his egg business. He works his chickens all day and all night, then lets them sleep on Sunday if they lay enough eggs during the week. John is in everything in school4in the Dramatic Club-in the senior play--and in the office most of the time. His ambition was to go to Penn State to learn art and dra-' matics and give the lovely Co-eds a break, but Business before pleasure is his motto, so he intends to be a big butter and egg man instead. Holmes El the teachers. But this genius in talking has increased her circle of friends to a mob. She is conversant on any subject but is especially intelligent about basketball and its intricacies, and housekeeping and its hardships. It is universally known, how- ever, that Elinor with her gay, happy-go-lucky spirit and dis- position can certainly keep a neat house. twenty-two
